Mr. Rogers. Other than salary ? 



Dr. Aron. No ; that includes salary. That includes salary of the 

 technicians. 



Mr. Rogers. Is your salary included in this $1.6 million overall 

 figure? 



Dr. Aron. Yes. 



Mr. Rogers. Do you make any request for a project like "Ships of 

 Opportunity" when you want to participate in them ? 



Dr. Aron". Yes, we do. It would be the hope in the future that we 

 could get funding directly. 



Mr. Rogers. Have you made such requests for direct funding? 



Dr. Galler. Mr. Chairman, we have made a request. I think Dr. 

 Aron referred, in mentioning the Navy's position, to a proposal that 

 has been submitted from the Smithsonian Institution to the Navy 

 soliciting support for the Ships of Opportunity project. 



Mr. Rogers. It might be well if you let us have information as to 

 what programs you are submitting and the funding asked. 



Are there any other questions ? If not, we are very grateful to you, 

 Dr. Galler and Dr. Aron, for being here. The committee will adjourn 

 until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. 



(The subcommittee adjourned at 12 :10 p.m.)
